I'm pretty sure the backup camera did not come into play until 2004 model year. I remember it being one of the items that made we select my '04 CL over an '03 UL.

No. Only 2004+ comes with the camera. Even if you retrofit a '04 nav ECU into your '02, you still need the camera ECU.

I have the factory repair manuals, which show the diagrams where everything is located & the schematics. The nav ECU on the gen4 connects to the camera ecu (as does the camera, obviously), which is also in the trunk. The camera ecu then connects to the screen up front. The screen has an output connection back to the nav ecu for the bluetooth.

I would love to add a back up camera to my 02 Ultra. I would appreciate all info about it also.

Isn't it obvious? If the car has no navigation (meaning no screen), what would this "backup camera" display to??

Jim, I have a 2002 LS 430 UL. As much as I LOVE the car, I really miss (1) Backup Camera (2) Blue Tooth. It sounds like, based on what you just wrote, that it is possible to get both? I assume it would entail finding a gen 4/5 Nav ECU, a Camera ECU, Nav DVD, a camera and... not sure what for blue tooth. Can you confirm this is possible and, if so, is it documented anywhere in this forum how to do this? Thanks.
